Ancient scholars and doctors often adhered to principles for the dreams in their hearts, and worked hard for this for a lifetime, even if they failed, they had no regrets. They sometimes live extremely hard lives and still show a calm state of mind.
For example, after Tao Yuanming resigned from the government and went into hiding, his life was very hard, but when he poured himself a glass of turbid wine, he said happily that there was a true meaning in this, and he wanted to discern that he had forgotten to say it. When Su Shi was degraded to Huangzhou, he also relied on himself on the eastern slope, and also improvised poetry, and he did not suspect that he was sure of the slope head road, and his self-love was sonorous.
In the Qing Dynasty, there was also a poet who, although his later life was embarrassing, was unswerving, and he wrote masterpieces that have been handed down to the world. The following is an introduction to a poem of the Qing Dynasty Great Confucian Seven Laws, the opening is passionate, and the tail link is even more inspiring.
Mountain dwelling miscellaneous chants
Qing Dynasty: Huang Zongxi
Fengdi prison has decided, still do not abolish my string song.
Death is still not willing to lose its heart, and poverty can not help me.
Twenty-two cottons were packed with broken quilts, and three pine woods were boiled in empty pots.
Winter is also a great place, and I believe that there are many victories in the world.
Huang Zongxi (黄宗羲), also spelled Taichong, was a Qing Dynasty Confucian who scholars called Mr. Lizhou and the father of Chinese intellectual enlightenment. The poet is very knowledgeable, fond of collecting books, and whenever he returns from a run, he often brings a book boy with him. He organized the anti-Qing struggle, and in his later years built the Longhushan Caotang, specializing in reading and writing.
Huang Zongxi's famous book "Ming Yi Special Visit" criticized the feudal monarchy from many aspects, he participated in the struggle against the Qing Dynasty, and resolutely refused to serve the Qing Dynasty after defeat. This poem was written during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, when the author was defeated and retreated because of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, and this poem reflects the author's noble image of being poor and untouchable and mighty.
Huang Zongxi's father, Huang Zunsu, was falsely accused to death by the castration party, when the poet was only 17 years old, and the grief in his heart can be imagined. Later, the newly enthroned Chongzhen Emperor purged Wei Zhongxian and other castrated parties, and Huang Zongxi went to Beijing to file a lawsuit after hearing the news. He also hid an iron cone in his sleeve, and when he saw his enemy Xu Xianchun, he pounced on it and stabbed him, and although he was imprisoned for this, he was able to vent his resentment.
When the poet later lived in seclusion, he recalled his own experiences, and he was also passionate, "Fengdi prison has decided, and still does not abolish my string song." "Even though the poet has calmly experienced the guns, swords, swords, and cages, he still can't stop playing the piano and singing. Fengdi refers to weapons in general, and here refers to war. String song, here is a metaphor for loyalty to the discipline of the nation.
Although human life is only once, the ancient scholars regarded honor as more important than life. So the poet then expounded his own values, "If you die and are not willing to lose your heart, how can you be poor and can do anything to me?" He believes that even if he encounters the threat of death, he will not bend his knees to seek perfection, and how can he help himself? Losing hearts, pointing out the sale of souls.
Seeing death as a homecoming, although death is still glorious, this is the poet's outline, and after the unique rendering of literature, it is full of emotion and literary style, and also conveys a sad style.
After the poet avenged his father, he participated in scientific expeditions, but unfortunately he fell behind Sun Shan. After that, he joined the Fu Society of the Late Ming Dynasty and worshiped Liu Zongzhou as his teacher. After the Qing army entered the Central Plains, the author joined the Southern Ming court without hesitation. Although he almost died later, he had no complaints or regrets.
Every time he is in trouble, the poet will remember the words of encouragement of the teacher, and it is as if he has a guiding light in his heart. Although he lived a poor life of "twenty-two cottons and broken quilts and three pine wood boiling empty pots" in his later years, he was resolute in several recruitments by the Qing court, which showed the poet's character of adhering to national discipline. Twenty-two, more than one pound, one pound in ancient times for sixteen two, the author said that his life was difficult.
Finally, the poet's attitude is clear, "Winter is also a great place, and it is better to believe that there are many victories in the world." "Even if it is a harsh winter, we must live it with dignity, how can we believe that there are many chances of victory in the world?" These two sentences inspire morale and inspire future generations of readers.
The implication is that the poet does not believe in those means of persecution, and can have more powerful tricks. "One winter", here refers to the winter of nature, but also alludes to the winter of life.
The author also made a will early before his death: after death, he spread out his braids, covered with a single quilt, and buried naked in a sarcophagus. Before his death, the poets said that they would not succumb to the rule of the Qing emperors, and their national integrity was very worthy of the admiration of future generations.
Huang Zongxi has experienced many hardships in life, but he is always determined. Although he finally had to admit the failure of the Southern Ming regime, the poet still remembered in his heart that he was a descendant of Yanhuang, so he preferred to live a life of frugal food and clothing, and definitely did not cooperate with the Qing Dynasty.
